Can't burn 375MB of songs to a 700MB CD???

I've got a playlist with 38 songs (4.3 hours, 375MB) in iTunes. When I burn the CD, iTunes says, the songs won't fit on an audio CD.

Why not???

It should hold 80minutes of music...

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.2), 2.4GHz Intel Core2 Duo, 1GB SDRAM

Can I point you to two facts in your post:

1) The playlist is 4.3 hours
2) A CD can hold 80 minutes of music

I think you answered your own question.

When burning an audio CD. look at the *total time* of the playlist.
When burning an MP3 or data CD, look at the *total size (MB)* of the playlist.
